the result that the rate of increase in mean fitness due to natural selection equals the additive genetic variance in fitness.

In population genetics, Fisher's fundamental theorem refers to the result that the rate of increase in mean fitness due to natural selection equals the additive genetic variance in fitness. This meaning comes from Price (1972) in Annals of Human Genetics.[1]
